Biography
I try to provide zealous advocacy to each and every client I represent, while being compassionate and mindful of the fact that legal matters are stressful and often complicated. I have been practicing in the areas of family law, criminal defense and social security disability for over 20 years. I have served as a Guardian Ad Litem for the Honorable Thomas Gritton for the past 15 years. I practice throughout the Fox Valley area, including Waushara, Waupaca, Green Lake, Fond du Lac, Outagamie, Winnebago and Calumet Counties.
